Change the story, Change the future
In the Impact Economy, every business is an impact business, and not only financial value but societal value is the top priority in every decision. Werner’s expertise includes impact entrepreneurship, sustainability, energy transition, and impact-driven leadership.
The economy is in a crucial transition. The definition of value is shifting from purely financial returns to societal impact. Driven by societal changes, stricter sustainability regulations (such as CSRD, CSDDD), and the rise of impact entrepreneurship, a new entrepreneurial agenda is emerging for the next 10-15 years. The businesses that manage to make societal impact a top priority within their organisation will succeed in the market, in society, and in attracting talent. Impact is the new profit! In his keynotes, Werner focuses on how you can be successful as an entrepreneur in this new economy.
How do you, as a director or entrepreneur, ensure that societal impact becomes a top priority alongside financial value? How do you integrate sustainability into the heart of your business instead of treating it as a side issue? And how does the CFO become a Chief Value Officer? In his keynotes, Werner showcases the key principles of impact entrepreneurship and the frontrunners in the field. He focuses on how frontrunners manage to derive profit from impact using impact accounting, true pricing, and strategic collaborations!
Every societal transition begins with personal transformation. It fundamentally concerns the question: who do you choose to be in this changing world? Who must we become to create a sustainable future? Werner explains that the key lies in leaders who show courage and boldness in times of transition. Leaders who, from hope, desire, and optimism, lead us to a new future. He shares the essential elements for leadership within the new economy and inspires others to boldly shape the future.
